There is a little known local fact that hikers, horses and even an occasional Jeep have disappeared in the Red Hills. These occurrences always seem to happen in the same area. Locals are now calling this area the Red Hills Devil's Triangle. Locals do not like to share the Red Hills Devil's Triangle actual location fearing it would scare tourist away.
You must figure out the location of the Red Hills Devil's Triangle to find this geocache with just a few clues locals have let slip out.
A. It is an equilateral triangle.
B. The line segments are 3,654 feet.
C. Two existing geocaches map icons/coordinates make up two of the corners.
D. The name of this geocache shares words with the names of those two geocaches.
You must figure out where the third corner is. Remember the third corner cannot be with in 528 feet of an existing geocache. The third corner is where you will perhaps find everything that has gone missing. If not sign the log book and let the others know where your last known location was just in case you come up missing. Oh, it's safer to travel to there without entering the Red Hills Devil's Triangle.
I strongly recommend studying satellite view after you solve this to find the best route to the final location, perhaps even marking key points/turns with a waypoint. Going cross country can be very difficult. Good Luck!

The Red Hills
The Red Hills BLM area consists of 7,100 acres (slightly more than 11 square miles) of public land. A county-maintained road, dating back to 1849, runs through the heart of the Red Hills.
Despite their hard-bitten reputation, the Red Hills show their hospitable side to hikers willing to overlook their superficial scruffiness, and to learn how both their history and vegetation have evolved into something truly special. Covered in chaparral, the Red Hills stand in stark contrast to the lush ranchlands that surround them. From a distance, they look to be upholstered in threadbare corduroy. The hills are composed of serpentine, the California state mineral, a rock (and soil) that is toxic to most plants, save for a few specially evolved species. Because of its inhospitable soil, the Red Hills have always been considered marginal land. To the Miwok, they were desolate of the oaks and game that supplied their food. Gold miners found but paltry pickings here, leaving behind disgruntled names like Sixbit Gulch, Hungry Hill, and Poor Mans Gulch.
